It’s so easy to tumble down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories with this. Mr. Lux has it absolutely right.
We humans have done much to improve our health and quality of life. Our lifespans are far greater than they used to be, and we’re long-since past the point of mere survival. Quite the opposite, global human overpopulation is the root source of many of our problems, including climate change.
While we all want better health and more time, so much of what had helped humans as a whole live longer (and arguably better) is also what ultimately does us in. Forever chemicals, plastics, unsustainable farming practices, pollution-causing industry, sedentary lifestyles, over-indulgence of stress-easing pleasures (smoking, drinking, etc.).
The issue is that much of our society is dependent on keeping us right where we are. To seek a “higher level of consciousness” where we can escape the destructive “human nature” and be free of many of our vices means that someone else won’t be able to make money off of us. Does Coca-Cola and Pepsi know that their drinks are major components of the obesity epidemic? Yes. Do they care enough to let you stop buying their products? No. They still shove them everywhere they can. Heck, they even own bottled water companies and price those products nearly identical to those of their sugary, chemical-filled sodas.
To put it another way, if you’re dying of cancer or heart disease, there’s a high likelihood that someone made a profit off of you getting it. It’s the way our world works, unless you still live like an aboriginal (and then you’re not likely reading this anyways). The “powers” don’t really care….they KNOW that human overpopulation is our biggest problem, so they’re fine with as much death as is needed. Corporations make profit at expense of our health, the “health care” industry makes money in treating the symptoms and the expensive slow declines of managing long-term illnesses. Add in war and poverty….
It has become a bit of a hobby. Just ask if you are covered for a procedure or what your obligation would be, covered or not. The current record for me is going around three times amongst nine entities without an answer over a year and a half. Just doing ‘the easy’ online search of their ‘services’ is not to be undertaken lightly. “For your convince and our concern for your good health”
